Ooooo, me likey!  The third one's my favourite!  I like the aqua colours 'cos they're so flattering to my complexion.

Great work.

Um, Larissa?   Did you know the YouTube link you posted is in Russian?  Not that I mind, mind you, because Russian is my second language and I understand it as well as I do English.  I just wondered if you were aware that it linked to a Russian site.

One of the cool things I discovered about my computer is that I've got a character map, so I can type in a different language!  So, without further ado:

Это хорошо. Спосибо!(that's Russian for It's okay, thanks!)

Val, excuse my fault, I am a Russian- speaking person and my mother tongue is Ukrainian.

Maybe this will help http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zd6PSKaUiak

Well, now I feel dopey for my "impromptu language lesson."

I studied Russian in school for years; the area where I live has a very large Russian American/Ukranian American population.  They always loved I could speak their language and would send their friends and neighbors to the store I worked at, to shop and to talk to me.  I learned the language early enough that I speak with a Russian accent.

We have some very beautiful Russian Orthodox, Ukranian Orthodox and Ukranian Catholic churches here where I live.  Lent is always nice to look forward to, because one of the churches has a Lenten pirohi sale every year.  They're made fresh by these little babushki in the kitchen, and they always wind up arguing with each other.  It's pretty funny!

So don't worry about it- it was un seeing it in my other language!  Thanks for the new link!
